3.7 Creating Session Files

If you do not know what is on the media, or you have lost or deleted the log and error files, you can re-create them from the server.

Ensure that you have met the prerequisites detailed in Section 3.1, Prerequisites for Performing SBCON Tasks.

To create a session file:

  1. From the SBCON Main Menu, select Job Administration > Create Session File.

    The Session Files Options screen appears.

  2. Enter a descriptive name.

  3. Select the media you will be using.

    If you have only one medium loaded, press Enter to accept the default.

  4. To verify the media, press Enter.

    SBCON reads the media and shows you the selected session.

  5. Confirm the creation of the session files.

    If the session selected is the session you want for log and error file creation, click Yes, Create Files for This Session.

    If the session selected is not the session you want for log and error file creation, click No, Go to the Next Session.

    If you elect to create session files, they will be created in the location you chose.
